Why I support the Death Penalty and Public Execution!

This is an example where the US judicial system fails, this man had done horrible things before and 24 times he was let go, back into society to harm
young ones again. As the most hanus of crimes, these I feel deserve public executions! The Islamic folks have this one right I think. As a public duty
you should have to witness this every so often, I firmly believe that if this was implemented in the United States that crimes of this nature would
plummet.

This asshole was actually smirking when he told them the lie detector test was a waste of time!

I would gladly pay for the bullet.

Why I Support the Death Penalty and Public Execution!

Suspect in Florida child killing appears in court

LECANTO, Florida (CNN) -- A registered sex offender who police said confessed to kidnapping and killing 9-year-old Jessica Marie Lunsford appeared in
a Florida courtroom Sunday.

Couey confessed to killing the girl after taking a lie-detector test on Friday, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said.

Police said Saturday they found Jessica's remains where Couey had told them he buried the girl -- behind his sister's house about 150 yards from the
Lunsfords' home

Dawsy called Couey, who had been arrested 24 times in the past 30 years, "a piece of trash" and said he wants to see him "get the death
penalty."

Four other people associated with the residence where Couey had been staying were arrested on charges unrelated to the girl's death -- three for
failing to notify authorities that Couey was at the home though they knew he was wanted by authorities -- Dawsy said. The other was detained for
nonpayment of child support

These folks are real winners protecting a POS like this man.

Please even if you don't believe in the God I do, please pray for this type of crime to stop and pray for the family of this wonderful little
girl

I think it's inconsistent and hypocritcal to have a death penalty and NOT have public executions, so I agree with you there.

But you should know, it's mostly anti-death penalty people that want executions made public.

Donahue lost a case decades ago to televise one. He was found to be a bona fide news program, and an execution bona fide news... but the courts fell
short and just said no because it wasn't dignified (or some such excuse).

My main thing with the death penalty is that it be fair. I'm not looking to overturn it, just enforce it fairly.

But yeah, the execution channel would be a big hit, no doubt.

Wow RANT you always surprise me! I too would like it to be fair and in this case there is no doubt.....As for TV, I would be against that, I would
think it is something that should be mandated in person as a civic duty.

I believe that seeing this and knowing that consequences of certain crimes are real and will happen would be a huge deterrent to those that
contemplate committing the crime.

As for the anti-death people wanting it public, they look for the shock value that would come from this to someday ban it. Different motive I will
agree.

We have to do something to not allow children to be hurt by the ANIMALS. I do not claim to have the answers, but obviously what we do now in
insufficient to deter these crimes.

It is hard for me to believe that you agree with me even if only partially, maybe there is a compromise that would be satisfactory to the majority of
the populace.....

There's something so familiar about this picture...

So let's see... is this loud support of capital punishment - even public executions - mainly based on the wish to deter homicide?

OK I will but rehabilitation has shown to be a failure, you want them near your kids?

Like I said before, in cases where we are unable to properly rehabilitate these offenders we should absolutely keep them confined and off the
streets.

So as to avoid repeating the very same questions that have been discussed before,
here's quite an extensive thread covering the death penalty-issue and whether it
should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

I don't agree with public execution, because it'll become the same kind of thing as watching family members stab each other in the back and plot
against each other to win a house - a perverted pleasure that puts us on the same base level as the murderer we're punishing.

And if *that* makes it onto TV... then there's nothing forbidden. Nothing will outrage people anymore... and you'll have pretty much anything on TV.
How about a reality show where five people dying from kidney failure compete for one donor, and every week the public votes out a contestant?

As for the murderer in this case... I prefer a society that neither kills him, nor tries to rehabilitate him, but locks him up in isolation for the
rest of his life, living in fear that the moment the guards look the other way, the other inmates will do a number on him... usually, inmates aren't
fond of child molesters. At all.

There are alot of people out there that would not be detered by public execution. Many already feel that they have nothing to live for anyway like,
the recent school shooter.
For many people like couey it is part of them, it is uncontrollable.

Public execution may deter some however. But I cannot offer a concrete opinion whether it should or should not be used, as I have been recently been
reevaluating alot of my view on topics such as execution. Not that my views will change, but I found it necessary to reflect deeper into alot of
things.

I disagree completely with my brother Ed. This sick person committed an evil crime. Should he be executed? It is the law of the land. Do i agree with
it?no. Not until he repents, asks God for forgiveness, and accepts Jesus as his Savior. Then hang him. Yep, Jesus died so this pathetic person can
have everlasting life.
I would not execute him for fear of sending him to everlasting hell. Yes, he deserves it but so does Ed and myself. If it took the rest of his life of
hard suffering labor, he would get it if i had anything to do with it. Of course liberals would say that is cruel and unusual punishment. i would
argue that it would be appropriate and just punishment.

edsinger you cant support the death penalty and be against abortions it makes your stance on both issues look like a joke.
Do people really think that the death penalty deters people from commiting crimes? Thats pretty dumb when people commit crimes they think there going
to get away with it.
All the death penalty dose is free up space so someone else can occupy a jail cell. In the USA it dose a poor job of that !

America the appeals process is so drawn out that there sometimes is no closure. The appellate process takes on average 10-12 years, and
often, sentences are overturned or lessened. In many cases victims spend years waiting for the murderers' deaths, only to see their hope taken away.
That's also not true. Because the appellate process is so drawn out, executing someone actually costs a lot more than sentencing him or her to life
in prison.

Those who can't afford attorneys often have poor representation (in Texas, for example, some defense attorneys have been occasionally known to sleep
through trials)
